    USB C mechanical keyboard to old PC

    I would like to buy a mechanical keyboard (it's a wired, RGB gaming type) which comes has a removable USB C cable. The cable has a USB C connection on both ends. However, my PC does not have a USB C port. I have a bunch of USB A ports. Is there anyway I can connect this to a USB A port? I'm...

    Dell Latitude 5420 with dual front web cams but only one cover

    Even if it's an IR camera, I still feels a privacy slider on it would have been useful.

    Dell Latitude 5420 with dual front web cams but only one cover

    Recommendation for budget non-gaming monitor

    I have a dual monitor setup with a pair of LG IPS234V-PN monitors that were purchased quite a few years ago. Unfortunately, one of the monitors packed up so I need to get it replaced. Each monitor has a DVI and HDMI input, so this enabled me to have dual monitor setup on two computers that are...

    Laptop's touchpad button clicks are not working

    The touchpad still works moving the cursor around (using capacitive touch). It's just the physical click buttons under the touch pad in the lower left and lower right corners that do not work.

    Laptop's touchpad button clicks are not working

    Definitely not the issue as single clicks don't even work.

    Laptop's touchpad button clicks are not working

    I have a Lenovo Yoga 700 11ISK laptop (https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/Lenovo-YOGA-700-11ISK/p/88YG7000616) which is currently running windows 10 Home. The bottom left and bottom right corners of the touchpad have physical mouse clicker buttons but these do not work. A...

    Upgrading fan to be quieter for my Dell Optiplex 7010

    I just had a look at the mounting points and it doesn't look standard. It has two screws on one edge, and on the other edge it has a single screw (so 3 in total, a triangle formation). Having had a deeper look, it definitely has some big dust balls which probably don't help. I'll try removing...

    Upgrading fan to be quieter for my Dell Optiplex 7010

    I have a Dell Optiplex 7010 (it's a slim line PC) with an Intel i5 processor. I've set it up to be a Plex media server. It's not loud but it's not quiet either. I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy fan upgrade that will make it considerably quieter. I know this might be challenging due to...

    What to put on my personal website as a software developer looking for a new job?

    Yes, I should have more of a presence on Github but sadly I don't have that right now and it's not something I can get in time for the job search now. A note for future. Although, life always gets busy so always find it difficult to software development outside of work. Oh well. Thanks for the...

    What to put on my personal website as a software developer looking for a new job?

    Fair enough. So, a default landing page from my web hoster is better than having the domain forward to my linkedin profile page?

    What to put on my personal website as a software developer looking for a new job?

    I'm a back-end software developer and will shortly be looking to change jobs to a different company. I haven't started any applications yet, but I will be in the next month or so. I have my own domain name (which uses my first and last name). I only really use this for Google Mail and so there's...

    Best antenna for Huawei B525 mobile data SIM router

    I have just spoken to Three directly and they said there is no issue with using their Mobile Phone SIM in the Huawei router, they said that there's no filtering or throttle of allowance and the speeds I get would be the same between both types of SIM cards. I didn't ask why they have both...

    Best antenna for Huawei B525 mobile data SIM router

    Ah okay, I never knew they made a distinction. It must be a new thing though. Anyway, I wasn't planning to use my phone SIM in the router, I was just testing it to check what kind of speed I'd be getting. Anyway, will order a proper data SIM so I can check as well.

    Best antenna for Huawei B525 mobile data SIM router

    It's on Three UK network, it's officially allowed. Three even sell the router with their SIM cards but I purchased it standalone.

    Best antenna for Huawei B525 mobile data SIM router

    I've just bought a Huawei B525 router to use with a mobile data SIM for home broadband. I currently have a Pixel 2 mobile phone using a Three SIM card. I get very good data speeds from my phone, get around 30 to 55 Mbps from pretty much all areas of my house. I put the exact same SIM card into...

    How to connect Netgear Nighthawk X6 Router (R8000) to Huawei B525 mobile wifi router

    Ah okay, so let me check I've understood. If I do the above, then I won't need to change or reconfigure any of my attached devices whether they're connected to my Netgear via wire or wireless? I guess, any devices that I've assigned an IP address too within the Netgear, would need to be...
